Go-Kart Day!!!

[doxximus]

serious? used to be alright as they were tight asses and didnt let you do anything like smash (even on accident) etc.

epping was alright but sometimes to many hero's

summerton (which is the hume hwy one) is pretty damn good. lots of parking. nice fast carts. lots of fun

I only know of one that is outdoor and that's down Keysborough way.  But I remember the karts were pretty old as well.

That keysborough track is rough as guts. My back hurt for 2 days after going there. That place in cambellfield looks good as the karts are 2 stroke :uh-huh: should be good for 80kmh

AusKarts looks really professional from their website. I don't know how the track is as I have never been there.

Have any of you guys been there?

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Nope but maybe i will drive up and check the track out on the weekend to see how it looks...and maybe talk to some of the guys about the prices etc. We'll see what we can do.

[skylineakt]

Cool Rob. Let us know or if you are checking it out on Sat, might come with ya.

[inark]

put me and my gf down for the event... or do the gfs need to stay at home?

[skylineakt]

No probs inark, the more the merrier. Bring her along. Just go to be careful, girls are sick drivers. Especially those ones that drives a Soarer hehe

[rs73]

I maybe interested but can't promise yet.. is the date confirmed yet? it's still abt 3 1/2 wks away... keep it posted..

[inark]

lol we used to go karting all the time and shes a little timid... but im sure after friday she wont be

[DJR34]

ill be there, but i reckon Ace Karts in sunshine is way better than auskarts

[two40]

go karts rock. i've just recently got into the whole scene and i'm loving it.

have fun guys.

oh, and definately go to an outdoor one unless the indoor is massive. generally more overtaking opportunities on an outdoor track as it's wider so it's more fun. and don't worry if it rains, you'll have even more fun.

[sKyLyN]

what about 'ace karts' in sunshine. There reliable anf the fun factor is high. Outdoor too...

[inark]

too far away... the other one is more central to us eastsiders

[riggaP]

dont you enjoy a cruise nark??

[skylineakt]

There you go, another reason to go to AustKart. More central, fair on everybody, hehe

[pawson]

Make another poll. See which track you guys want.

I prefer Sunshine. large and fast.

[skylineakt]

Ok guys as pawson suggested I have put up another poll for you guys to vote on which venue you would like to go for the Go-Kart event.

I think it is pretty much out of Ace Karts (Sunshine) and AustKarts (Port Melb). If there any other suggestion, make it quick as we will need to make a booking soon.

Please check the event section for the other poll.

So far we already have the minimum no, which is great!!

[skylineakt]

Ok guys it is official now!!

The Go-Kart day is going to be next week on the Nov 1st Saturday and the VENUE IS!!!!!

PORT MELBOURNE.. hehe

The poll has been going for a while now and it seems that more people prefer AustKart at Port Melbourne.

Will make the booking sometime today to oragnise a time for us to squeeze in.

I know there is the Dyno thing as well at Brooklyn on this day so most likely the Go-Kart event will be sometime in the afternoon say about 5 pm and than maybe after we all can go for a bite and have a small meeting with Jamezilla in regards to the SAU offical club.

And since we are in South Melb, I guess the KEG at Albert Park seems like the best choice so far.

Keep posted to the finer details, will be up soon.

[rs73]

Well, i'm tuning my car on the day. But if it's 5pm maybe can make it... need to register? are the prices still like the one mentioned in the first post?

[skylineakt]

That's cool rs7, just come down and have a drive.

I just spoke to the guys at AustKart today and they can fit us in at 6.00pm on Sat 1st Nov.

The race will be split up into 2 races due to the amount of people.

Each race going for about 30 mins for a 40 lapper, so it is going to cost $48 per person.

I have give them a call back tomorrow to confirm everything.
